Can we have this modified so that specifying the Author parameter shows this:

(if author=Quasar) "Quasar, the author of this work, hereby publishes it under the following license:"

Rather than the current way, which shows this (which is grammatically broken): "Quasar, hereby publish it under the following license:"

Also, can we have it link to the Author's user page?

You can linkify your own name by using wiki markup, i.e. use something like {{self|GFDL|author=[[User:Quasar|Quasar]]}}. I agree that that I'd be nice to fix the grammar. —RP88 00:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

This page is protected. In order to fix the grammar on this template (and fix a minor error in the end-italic placement, I request that the following line and start of next line:

| <center>'''''{{{author|I, the author of this work}}},''' hereby publish it under the following license{{#if: {{{2|}}}|s|}}:</center>
<center>'' ...

be replaced with:

| <center>'''''{{{author|I}}}, the author of this work,''' hereby publish{{#if: {{{author|}}}|es|}} it under the following license{{#if: {{{2|}}}|s|}}:''</center>
<center> ...

In the interests of paranoia, I'll mention that the "..." is not part of the requested change, just a placeholder for the rest of the second line of the change. —RP88 00:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
